someone do something with these idiots

how many people get into customer service these days? surely, they only ever got the job cos they passed thier interview. this assumption is based on the fact that i went through the same. hell, they even like to do numeracy and literacy test, sometimes, they really do. and what about the training period that you have to go through? and yet, everytime you phone a company/service/organisation, and you have to deal with the customer service, they make sure they give you wrong details and get you more confused than what you started off as.

i rang up the job centre plus to find out about how to go about getting my national insurance number, so that they could help me and direct me to the right place...what they did instead was to set me off on a ride that would take five fucking phone calls to actually get to the right local office! when i eventually do get the right office, i am told that the earliest i can have an appointment is the exact day and time that i am not available. and it is physically impossible for me to be present at two different places at the exact same time. so there! very nice. anyway, managed to get a time and appointment sorted, just hope i don't completely forget about it, since it is a week monday, and the nearest monday round the corner is like one week away. and then i'll get the nin not before 6 weeks from my interview date, to a couple of months after my interview. how convenient is that? nothing bad, just have to pay more tax, i think. need to check that out. stupid government and its tax system.

went for a swim with k, and it was very nice and relaxing. but one of the downsides of going swimming is that, one, you always smell of chlorine ages after you've washed, showered and dried, and two, you never know if someone has had a wee in the pool. anyway, am knackered now. nicely stuffed, and eating some minty chocolate just now. and if someone hasn't tried it yet, i do recommend the 'tesco value: after dinner mints', they are better than that after eight shit, and are real value for money. a little note at the bottom of the pack says 'quality guaranteed' and it's not a lie!

and if anyone is wondering why i am writing so much jargon just now, it's cos i don't have any photos to post and i need to do something to get those abuses and spam coming in!

speaking of spam, i managed to make the comments postable (if you know what i mean, you'll stop trying to tell me that's not a word) by blogger users only, and still managed to get spam.

p.s. happy burpday, p.
